In the village there were also goods of three disappeared families that Herbert gave to the same prior. In to say of st. Archangel of Perdifurno I have also mentioned an unpublished document, XXII 80, March 29, VII, Salerno, where is sign of St. Angel and the local monastery « noviter east constructum ". In October 1157 certain Dino and Trots gave lands to the monastery of St. Archangel among whose the confine « rebus sancti angels ".
